2018 World’s Strongest Man, Game of Thrones actor, and a deadlift world record holder, Hafthor Björnsson, has shown off his physique in his latest Instagram post. Hafthor has really changed the way he looks and revealed his chiseled physique, after losing about 60 kg (132.3 lbs) since his strongman days. Right now, Hafthor looks more like a bodybuilder, than a strongman.
Hafthor’s physique is most prominent in his abs, as his tattoos cover the chest and arms area. He has already given himself a nickname which is “Half-Thor”, and it really suits his transformation. Hafthor’s physique photo was taken right after a 30-minute morning run.
